Daphne's reflection on the Unit 2 Test

I was quite confident starting the test, because the day before I reviewed everything with my dad, which really helped me out. I went over the parts I had been struggling with and it lead to a great result on my test. I was proud that I was able to get the mark I did and I hope to do just as well on other tests in the future. The question I got incorrect on the test was one of the only ones I was not sure of how to do, so I kind of expected to not get that one. Afterwards though, I did my corrections and now know how to do it.

Daphne's reflection on Chapter 5

At first I did not really like this chapter because I learned it last year, but I needed a little time to recall how to do it. The factoring part was alright, and I liked it better and was better at it than chapter 4 for sure. The only thing I would needed to remember before factoring it completely was sometimes finding the common factor. After that, it got easier.

Daphne's reflection on the Unit One Test

I definitely would have expected to do better on this test. I did better on the written part than the multiple choice. I thought I was doing most of it correctly because all the answers I ended up with were one of the choices, and I did pretty well on the past tests on each chapter. My mistakes throughout this test were probably minor ones that I overlooked, so next time, I will probably make sure to check over my answers and see if they make sense ! I will practice harder next time before the next test and try to do better !

Daphne's reflection on Chapter 4

In this chapter we learned about square roots, cube roots, integral exponents, rational exponents and irrational numbers. I think I had the most difficulty with the rational exponents. It got confusing with the rational exponents when the exponent outside of the bracket was a positive or negative fraction (more so with the negative fractions). There were also many rules to remember, such as what to do with a power of a power, power of a product, power of a quotient, product of powers and quotient of powers. Working iwth integral exponents was not too bad because it was still pretty basic with no fraction powers. Working with irrational numbers was not too, too difficult, but with practice I eventually got the hang of it. Overall, I would have to say this chapter has been the hardest for me so far, and I would have liked to do better on the chapter test, but I didn't think it was too bad.
